SS : Take What's Left Of My Heart Part 16

With Khushi still
unable to focus, he lifted her dripping body out of the bathroom and lay her on
the bed…

Gently pressing his
hand over her forehead, he smoothed her tangled hair away from her face…

She was fighting to
keep her eyes open…"Arnav...ji…"

He leaned in and
kissed her with extreme softness…"Shhh...just sleep now…"

More than anything
she wanted to make sure he understood what had just happened…

She wanted him to
reassure her that he wasn't going to shy away from her, and treat her like a
breakable vase…

But her body was
tired, and she felt herself falling asleep fast…

"Arn...Arnav...ji...I...I
need to…"

Arnav held her face
in his warm hands and touched his open mouth to hers, lightly moving his
lips…."Shhhh...sleep…."

As his voice crooned
to her, she began to dream...…

…….

Arnav stayed by her
side until she was sleeping deeply…

His other hand had
moved to her abdomen…

He felt her stomach
rise and fall on each breath, making it almost impossible to look away…

Smiling softly, he
dropped a kiss to the valley between her breasts, upwards to her neck, pressing
down harder on her pulse…

But soon, his
expression changed…

He stood up,
stepping back far away…

Anger was now
flowing freely through is body…

Fury etched on his
face as his rage ignited at what had happened…

Not bothering to dry
himself, he pulled on some clothes and stormed across the room, picking up the
burner phone that the police had left him.

As soon as the man
answered, Arnav bit back a loud roar and snarled…"Give me a name...I need
ANSWERS!"

"Calm down. You
and your wife are safe…"

"Do NOT try and
make what I did sound acceptable!
ANSWERS!"

Arnav ground his
teeth as he waited…

The policeman
cleared his throat…"We have apprehended the person who injured your
brother in law, the charges aren't substantial, but there will be a heavy
fine…"

Arnav
scoffed…"I honestly would commend the person who hurt that bastard...who
was it?"

There was a pause…

"It was your
wife's sister. Payal."

Arnav's eyes slammed
shut…"No…"

"I'm sorry sir,
It was. Plus she has confessed to harming him. We understand her motives, but
have to penalize her as Mr. Jha was already behind bars and not causing threat
to your wife at the time."

His heart began to
thump…"Look, I don't want her under any stress. I will pay all fines, and
I don't want this mentioned again! I can't pretend I'm angry about her doing
this, but if my wife finds out, she will be distressed…"

That was just wow Sarah! But the good times are still so far. True that Arnav has let go of his inhibitions, and both of the are getting on really well. But now with this Payal's problem I think another disaster is on the way to eat up their lives. Afterall the title is all about them overcoming obstacles in their way :) And the last part was hot, hot AND hot. Can't wait to read the next part and also I think a Maha update is to come next in compensation for the last two short updates :D Waiting..... Wonderblake (IF)
